Review on πŸ“· ESP32-CAM WiFi Board with OV2640 2MP Camera: Arduino IDE & Raspberry Pi Compatible by Mark Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Preinstalled Get to work right out of the box.

You have a camera with a display, with a perfect view, with an SD slot. 90 degrees is different from ordinary OV2640 cameras. Very convenient. They were preflashed with the default sketch. So test it now. One of the USB connectors was badly soldered and loose, but it was easy to fix and still worked. These cameras have green tabs rather than the usual red ones, but they are very good cameras. The cameras on my trio were already built into the ESP32-CAM. Came sealed in a box. In addition, the MB has installed an ESP32-CAM so that the contacts are protected. Basically take it out of the box, plug in the USB to power and look for it, look for 192.168.4.1 and there it is, ready to go. The default is low resolution, but you can change it by selecting it on the screen. All the controls are there, even face recognition. Of course, the SD is not configured. Preloading simplifies plausibility checks. I left one like this and flashed the other two and they worked great, no problem finding or flashing them in the IDE. If you've never used the ESP32-CAM-MB, you'll love it once you try it. You can also use it on other ESP32 CAM modules as a programmer. Very good offer here.

Pros
  • Strong Compatibility: Compliant with WiFi 802.11b/g/n/e/i and 4.2 standards, it can be used as a master to create an independent network controller, or as a slave to other host MCUs to add networking capabilities to existing devices add
Cons
